Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

They had long considered Edgar as good as dead. If Briar hadn’t returned to investigate her sister’s death, they would never have let him see Briar.

In the end, that scumbag begged Briar to return, only to treat her poorly and even let his mistress and her two children bully her. If Briar hadn’t insisted that they stay out of it, they would have made Edgar pay.

Ashton’s disregard for Edgar and the Jennings family won over Ruben and Larry. After breakfast, when Ashton and Briar were leaving to run errands, the two men happily saw them to the door.

Even when Ashton suggested they stop by a church and get married, her two uncles had no objections.

Briar was speechless. “Uncles, I know Ashton is giving you a lot, but could you at least pretend to be a little reserved? This is too obvious!”

Larry waved at Briar. “Go on, you and Ashton go take care of business. We won’t keep you for lunch.”

With that, the two of them turned and went back inside.

Briar was speechless.

Ashton pulled the stunned young woman into the car and comforted her. “Darling, maybe your uncles haven’t recovered from the shock yet. Once they’ve had a moment, they’ll probably ask us to stay.”

That may be what he said, but the car had already sped away. Even if her uncles came to their senses now, it would be too late to stop them.

Resting an arm on the car window, Briar shook her head in resignation. “Ashton, you’ve really mastered the art of being insincere.”

Ashton wasn’t annoyed by Briar’s sarcastic tone. He reached out, took her right hand, and changed the subject. “Should we meet up with Connor and the others first?”

Briar nodded. “Yes, my people have arrived as well.”

With her identity as the elite instructor of DDC Vanguard Base exposed, Briar dropped the act and had Memphis, who was nearby, reveal himself.

Ashton glanced at Briar. “He’s one of your subordinates from the DDC Vanguard Base?”
